    So much that they even made a site for them all.

    lol.....umad


    My bad though, must be cool to be 19 and have a job that pays for a 911! More power to you if its true. I wish I had that kind of job when I was 19! Because damn I was pushing shopping carts in parking lots busting my ass through college to earn enough to pay for my little old sub 14 thousand dollar car LOL

    You had a sub 14 thousand dollar car? Fucking rich people all up in this bitch.

    I drove a $650 dollar Chevette through most of my high-school years. Most awesome thing about it was (100,000 miles later) after the timing chain broke I sold for $850... Lulz

    Her dad bought it for her(thats what she said), i see her almost every week in PTC. And its the cheap porsche with the expensive body kit, its a $20000-25000 car tops, and is not fast. Still a cool LOOKING car. Id drive it as a daily.

    The point being, no i would not care if my woman drove a faster car than me. Very few girls are actually into cars to care how fast they go. I cant tell you how many women i see driving M6s or AMGs , just putting to and from work or the grocery store. Do you think they really care how fast the car goes?

    Lady i work with drives a 135I convertible and its a fun car to drive, but she likes it for its looks, not because its a fast car

    Not mad...a little entertained though. Where did I mention myself in that post as buying the 911 I drive now and "owning" it?? Hmmm...I don't believe I did. Good try, though. I hardly even drive that car as it is. I use it as transportation to do what I can so I can get my own car that I will pay for 100%

    And to Mike (vteckidd)...he didn't buy it FOR me. He bought it for himself and he lets me drive it. Have I made payments on the car? Yes. Have I put money towards the cost of maintenance? Yes. Does that make it mine? Not at all. As for it being a cheap car with an expensive body kit...couldn't agree with you more lol

    How many times has this "problem" everyone seems to have with it been brought up?? Too much.

    If this is what you want me to say then fine: IT'S NOT MINE!! I DRIVE DADDY'S PORSCHE AND I LOVE IT!!

    Quote that shit and save it if you want. I don't care. I would gladly take almost any car other than the 911 right about now anyway...and that's exactly what I'm working towards doing. If you still have a problem with me driving the 911, then I can't help you. It's what I have now to do what I need to do, and I'm gonna use it. If anyone still has questions or smart comments to make towards the matter, I'll have no problem answering or replying. It'll probably just be a repeat of everything I just said anyway.

    Sorry for the thread jack!!!

    I didnt mean anything negative by it, you have said multiple times that your dad bought it for you, or himself then gave it to you, or whatever. I was just correcting George. Also i was not talking shit about it being slow, i was just saying its a $20,000-25000 car used right now, not some GT3. Its cool i drive an Acura LOL

    Oh, I didn't mean mine in a negative way either haha I said he bought it for himself and then I took over payments for a couple months or so when I had the money. It gets thrown out many different ways, so it's whatever I'm not paying for anything now and I still drive it. It's caused more trouble than convenience, so I'll be more than happy when I can finally afford my own car instead of dealing with the constant problems that arise with the 911.

    All this talk about women driving Porsches....and people seem to call Miatas girl cars, yet all the Miatas on here are owned by guys. The one 911 in here is driven by a chic. WTF?


    lawls...I'm just fucking around.
    Kevin- I, to this day, still thank you for letting me borrow The Red Pill to get my ass around when my shit was down. Hope you're still enjoying that a/c

    As for the subject at heand. No. I'd be inclined to say if she was in a faster car AND a better driver..maybe. On the idea of a chic being a better driver being intimidating, I'm sure most guys would agree..but there are plenty of dudes on this site that can't drive for shit lol. I'm pretty sure one day my GF will have a significantly faster car than me (at least until I can start on the next round of mods...which won't be for sometime). I'm not worried about it. For now my household consists of two turbo Miatas

    You ever need it again it's only a call away. Yes the A/C works perfectly again (forgot to mention that). Helps keep my fat ass from perspiring at traffic lights. I think the top has only been up once since you had it

    How funny that I said this. I'm still driving the Miata and she now has a Cayman R. What are my thoughts? Well, it's more motivation to get through school and get a job that is worth a shit.
    As for her driving. She's good without a doubt, though she knows I am less afriad to push harder behind the wheel. Now I'm pushing her to go do a HPDE or some kind of track day or school because I know she will do great and enjoy it. Though I don't think she'll ever try to take on drifting lol

    My girl has a s2000 and a bike, both of which are much faster than my puny maxima. Do I care? Hell naw. There's always going to be ppl in this world with better, nicer, faster stuff, I accepted that a long time ago and have moved on since.

    Hell if anything it's a plus because I can drive a s2000 and bike anytime I want.

    I see you all the time... But you never see me.


    Probably has something to do with the fact I'm hiding in the bushes with my pants around my ankles.

    My girl has an s2000 which has more hp and is faster than my car but I dont mind it at all. I wouldnt mind if she had a ferrari because then I'd be able to drive it.

    I am doing my first HPDE/PDX at road atlanta next month I cant wait.
